Which of the following lists foods in order, from perishable to nonperishable? a. dried pasta, cheese, fruit, uncooked ground beef b. dried pasta, fruit, uncooked ground beef, cheese c. uncooked ground beef, fruit, cheese, dried pasta d. uncooked ground beef, fruit, dried pasta, cheese
Historically, the production of many perishable foods, such as dairy products, was highly seasonal. As the supply of those products fluctuated, prices tended to fluctuate tremendously - typically by 25 to 50 percent or more-over the course of the year. One effect of mechanical refrigeration, which was commercialized on a large scale in the last decade of the nineteenth century, was that suppliers could store perishable foods from one season to the next. Economists have estimated that as a result of refrigerated storage, wholesale prices rose by roughly 10 percent during peak supply periods, while they fell by almost the same amount during the off season. Use a demand and supply graph for each season to illustrate how refrigeration affected the market for perishable food. Source: Lee A.
